Well, that time I figured out crossing Nisqualy Glacier would not really require a helmet. Why? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Helmet with a beanie underneath, and you'll never know its there. Always a helmet.

We will be climbing Rainier via Disappointment Cleaver next weekend. Absurdly warm weather apparently. I am advocating for helmets but a friend is saying no helmets as "no-one wears them on Rainier". What are the forums thoughts?


Yes, wear 'em, especially after you leave Camp Muir crossing the Cowlitz. When you get to about 13,500, then you can take 'em off if you like, but there's no reason to do so at that point.
